Baseten provides a platform for deploying and managing machine learning (ML) models, aimed at simplifying the process for businesses. Users can select from a library of open-source foundation models and deploy them with just two clicks, making it easier to implement ML solutions without complex setup. The platform features autoscaling, which adjusts resources based on demand, and monitoring tools for tracking performance and troubleshooting. A unique aspect is the Truss framework, allowing users to package and deploy custom models via a command-line interface. Baseten operates on a usage-based pricing model, where clients pay only for the time their models are active, helping them manage costs effectively. The goal of Baseten is to streamline ML deployment for tech companies, data scientists, and ML engineers.
